Made in Holland. Released with photo printed inner sleeves including credits.

Track B2 and B3 on the back cover appear in opposite order. The correct order of the tracks is printed on the label of the B-side [see images]. Back cover does not list any more information than the track list, the production credit for Richard Perry and the Chrysalis logo. There are no references to country of manufacture, distributor or anything else for that matter. All details for this Made in Holland pressing are to be found exclusively on the labels.

The Recorded At reference to Air Studios London only applies to the tracks I Want You Back and There Isn't Anything, as it was in that studio where the string sections for those cuts were recorded.
